I would guess it is MDF with oak overlay, but couldn't tell you for sure without chipping away it. Very sturdy construction either way.

It is made of MDF. It is quite well made -- solid construction and does not rattle, etc. A good buy at this price, though you might wish to swap out the speakers which I find muddy.

Sorry, I sent this back because it was broken. I didn't want another one because of the amount of MDF used in the construction.

I think the inside of the drawers are mdf but the outside, is wood. Finish is nice. Regardless, it is a nice looking, sturdy piece of furniture (especially for the price). I would order again.

It is not made of cheap particle boards like the majority of cheap bookcase in the market. This unit is Made in USA with MDF. Besides the material, the molding and trimming included in the package will cover the MDF and you cannot tell it is not hard wood. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres. This book case is solid as a rock. I read few negative review from people that either have not assembled it right or simply got some other product. Mine is pretty much indestructible.

it is mdf and I would not recommend this product. The drawers and rails have totally fallen apart and it would be better to buy from Ikea than this thing.

Not sure if its real wood or mdf but it looks like wood painted an expresso color. Looks good in person...

No it is made out of some type of mdf. If it gets wet it would swell the wood and ruin it over time.

They are made of MDF, but are very sturdy. For the price, you won't find better.

this table is made from MDF, but it is very sturdy and has some weight to it. It's not flimsy.

It wasn't hard to put together, but I was disappointed that it was all made of MDF. It's really heavy.

To those that say it's MDF - Amazon says REAL wood. If it's not you can return the unit.

It's all wood, and my grandchildren love putting things in the pocket in the center. I don't know what MDF means. Sorry!

It's made out of MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) with a pine veneer on top of it.MDF contains a mixture of wood solids, wax, and resin bonded together under high temperatures and high pressure to create a uniform wood-like product that is far cheaper than real wood. When furniture is sold unassembled, nowadays it's usually MDF. This is even the case for high-end "fine furniture" pieces (even ones that are already assembled).
